Hi, KMarkdownWebView today entered KDE Review. This repo contains a kpart for rendered display of Markdown files, using web technologies (webpage with JavaScript library which creates HTML from the plaintext handed in).
I consider it rather a hack and would favour something done natively in Qt (e.g. like the Markdown Okular generator in https://phabricator.kde.org/ D7382). But for now it serves the use-case of providing a webpage-like rendered display of markdown documents. Especially for the live preview plugin for Kate & KDevelop currently worked on*. * https://frinring.wordpress.com/2017/08/21/look-what-you-have-donewwdo See also https://cgit.kde.org/kmarkdownwebview.git/about/ The separate library libKMarkdownWebView is done for sharing code with a thumbnailer plugin, whose code yet is to be committed to this repo, as it resists to work right now. Initial build on CI looks good: https://build.kde.org/job/Extragear%20kmarkdownwebview%20kf5-qt5%20SUSEQt5.9/ https://build.kde.org/job/Extragear%20kmarkdownwebview%20kf5-qt5%20FreeBSDQt5.7/ And people on #kde-devel & #kdevelop also reported successful builds and usage. Target would be extragear/$SOMETHING, with $SOMETHING possibly "utils". Initial release planned right after leaving kdereview. Question: is there any appstream metadata possible for plugins?
